Adding to the online feature set, which includes customizable Online League Play with up to 30 teams, scrolling MLB® Score Ticker and more, MLB® 08 The Show™ introduces SCOUT (SportsConnect Online User Tracking), which allows gamers to set and store their game preferences on the MLB® server, and enables the system to look for a Quick Match with opponents that fits similar competitive criteria.
